Product Details
The Victron BlueSolar PWM LCD&USB 12/24V 20A charge controller is a reliable and compact choice for solar installations that need consistent battery management. Designed for both 12V and 24V systems with automatic voltage detection, it is suitable for a wide range of commercial and off grid applications including remote equipment shelters, marine environments and rural electrification.
Housed in a durable IP20 rated enclosure, this controller measures 96 x 169 x 36 mm and weighs only 0.15 kg. The compact footprint allows for easy installation in cabinets or on mounting boards. An integrated LCD provides clear status information and menu access, while two 5V USB outputs with a 2A combined rating allow small devices and monitoring accessories to be powered directly from the unit.
The controller supports a three stage charging profile covering bulk, absorption and float stages. It includes dedicated programmes for AGM, Gel, Flooded and LiFePO4 batteries with internal battery management systems. A separate load output with day and night control helps prevent excessive discharge and can be configured for timed operation. This reduces unplanned downtime and protects battery investment.
For installers, the controller offers reverse polarity, overload, short circuit and over temperature protection. Self consumption remains low under 10 mA, helping conserve energy in smaller solar systems. Maximum input voltage is 28V for 12V systems and 55V for 24V systems which covers most small to medium panel configurations.
Backed by a five year warranty, the BlueSolar PWM LCD&USB 12/24V 20A provides dependable performance from a trusted brand. For trade users it offers a straightforward solution that limits follow up support calls and keeps system performance consistent. Whether used in caravans, off grid cabins, small telecom sites or maintenance free locations, this controller delivers reliable and effective solar charging.
